Needham’s third annual observance of International Overdose Awareness Day is happening on Thursday, August 28 from 6:30 – 7:10 pm at the Needham Town Common, 147 Higland Avenue, Needham. International Overdose Awareness Day is an opportunity to remember, without stigma, those who have died from overdose, to recognize that addiction and overdose do not discriminate, and to renew our sense of hope. Needham’s observance will include speakers, a memorial flag display, resource tables, and harm reduction materials to support community members of all ages. Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to learn how to reverse an overdose with Naloxone.
